Equine dental destructive disorders: an epidemiological survey in northern Germany
Despite similar cemental involvement, peripheral and infundibular lesions differ markedly in clinical relevance and progression, necessitating distinct diagnostic approaches. Peripheral changes are often benign, whereas infundibular lesions may lead to pulpitis or fractures. These findings underline the need for species-specific diagnostic criteria and further research into modifiable risk factors.
